Strandir
Strandir (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈstrantɪr̥]) is the eastern coastal region of Iceland's Westfjords (Strandasýsla). It encompasses 3,500 square kilometers[1] and is considered remote and difficult to access.[2] It has a population of around 800 people, with the largest community being Hólmavík.[1] Historically, it has relied on fishing and sheep farming to support its economies. The herring stocks of the region, once some of the best in the country, collapsed in the 1950s.[3] More recently, though late relative to the broader region, it has sought tourism industries.[1]
